Formula 1 just announced a 24-race calendar.
Formula 1 just announced its calendar for the 2024 season, complete with 24 Grand Prix weekends, and a shuffling of the schedule from the norm. The series says it's taken "big steps forward in regionalization," meaning it's attempted to cluster races near eachother geographically. Perhaps the most obvious evidence for this is the move of the Japanese Grand Prix from its traditional October date to April.
Japan is now sandwiched between the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix, which makes sense from a logistical standpoint. To that end, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix also moves to September, to be held back-to-back with the Singapore Grand Prix. Qatar and Abu Dhabi will also be held back-to-back to end the season. All that said, the calendar hasn't clustered all the dates in one region together.
F1 has worked towards a 24-race calendar for some time, with 2023 set to be the first year with 24 Grands Prix until the cancellations of China and Emilia Romanga rounds. If all goes to plan, 2024 will be a record-setter for the series.A car enthusiast since childhood, Chris Perkins is Road & Track's engineering nerd and Porsche apologist.
